Aodix

Aodix is an audio sequencer that is compatible with ASIO and VST2 plugins. It is essentially a soft synth that works like a tracker for sequencing music tracks.

Built with efficacy in mind, users have to choose the basic template of the program, the sequencer sample rate, and each VST plugin path. Also, users can set the keyboard layout, Master Autolink instance, and MIDI input.

Aodix is a middle-ground application between music trackers of old and modern day sequencers, that offers modular wiring between VST instances and real-time alterations of the tracked audio timelines. The program offers a 256 track multi-pattern sequencer, which means that it can play up to 256 different tracks with different beats at the same time. Pattern lengths are, obviously, unlimited.

True to its tracker origins, Aodix can import mainly MIDI files, with WAV format being also supported. Exported files are MIDI exclusively.

Track timelines can be modified via selectable quantization, while editing and recording of tracks can be done via real-time event automation which includes both VST and MIDI tracks. The utility supports MIDI masking and VST 2.0.

However, one of the main advantages of this app is its plugin compatibility, which allows artists to improve Aodix with pretty much any other third-party app they find appealing or interesting. The program supports multiple VST outputs and allows users to tweak its automation feature via an especially designed matrix.

Aodix is a professional app built for musicians that desire a MIDI-based soft synth with tracker and sequencer abilities packed in one interface. The program has great support for VST outputs and various plugins, while it allows MIDI masking and parameter automation via its internal matrix design.

However, Aodix is a tracker at heart so it accepts only MIDI and WAV formats to sequence. And in case you plan to export your music, MIDI format is your only option.
